William Baines, 7 Preludes for Piano (1919)
William Baines (1899 - 1922) was an English pianist and composer who wrote more than 150 works before his premature death from tuberculosis at the age of 23. Despite his youth, Baines completed many works, mostly in the genre of the piano miniature and he left a symphony, a poem for piano and orchestra and a number of chamber works.

"...All the Seven Preludes are terse, the sumptuous No. 3 comprising a mere eight perfectly judged bars. The spirit of Scriabin lies also behind the muted ecstasy of No. 1 and the drifting opiate tonality of No. 5, but the Fourth Prelude is pure Baines, a torrent of semiquavers* without key and without time signature. No. 7 unleashes the restrained passion of the First Prelude; Baines' publisher had asked for an exciting finale to the set and this he was given with a coda exploding into space on a precipitate minor seventh."
